MASSAGE THERAPY

  

Experience the difference

In today’s society where stress-related, psychological and physiological health problems are common, massage plays a significant therapeutic role.
To increase your health and well being a regular massage relaxes the body and mind. It can resolve soft tissue pain caused by strain or injury, or just day-to-day living.

Overall, massage increases blood circulation and improves

lymphatic circulation in the body.

Massage can :   

•  Improve circulation
•  Lower heart rate and blood pressure      
  
•  Reduce stress and anxiety
•  Boost the immune system through cellular waste elimination            
  
•  Relieve muscle tension and improve muscle tone
•  Reduce inflammation in joints and soft tissue
•  Alleviate pain, stiffness and improve flexibility

LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE

is a gentle, slow, rhythmic form of specialised massage which assists the flow of lymph along the lymphatic vessel, decongesting the area and promoting lymph flow.

Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage :

• Aids in removal of metabolic waste, excess water, toxins, and foreign substances from tissues
• Through its gentle, rhythmic and precise hand movements, helps to alleviate pain by reducing pain signals sent to the brain
• Supports and enhances the immune system
• Relaxes the sympathetic nervous system, aiding in stress reduction
• Aids healing and recovery from surgical trauma, injuries and swelling

EAR CANDLING    

is a pleasant and non-invasive treatment of the ears, used to treat a variety of conditions. There’s nothing worse than experiencing ear pain or sinus headaches where you can’t work, think or sleep.
Ear Candling is a natural, non-intrusive procedure that may help alleviate the painful effects of chronic headaches or sinus conditions, ear infections, allergies or vertigo, as well as minor hearing loss due to excessive earwax build up.

 

CUPPING

is a therapy that uses cups to increase local blood flow and draw toxins to the skin's surface. A suction pump is used to create a vacuum in each cup that pulls up on the skin, stimulating the acupressure effect.'

Traditional cupping dates back to over 3000 years ago and has been used as a part of the primary health care services offered in China. Cupping  may be combined with massage therapy for added relief from joint pain, muscle injury, headaches, infections, bronchial congestion, gastro-intestinal disorders and other conditions.

 

PSYCHOLOGY

Norman Morris is an experienced psychologist and has been practicing for many years. He has a particular interest in working with individuals who are experiencing disruption in their everyday lives.
Issues such as sickness or death in the family, relationship or career upheaval, alcohol and drug issues or being caught up in a crime or accident can bring feelings of anger, uselessness or confusion.
Sometimes, for no clear reason, people can experience depression leading to a whole range of powerful emotions, such as sadness, worry and a sense of hopelessness. Norman uses a range of techniques to assist these persons who are often struggling to understand what is happening in their lives.

CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPY

Hypnotherapy in its briefest definition is ‘therapy under hypnosis’

It is a safe and beneficial form of therapy with no harmful side effects which has been used for hundreds of years in various countries and cultures and which was approved as a therapeutic practice by the British Medical Association in 1955 and by the American Medical Association in 1958.

Although the term "Hypnosis" was derived from the Greek word hypnos, meaning sleep, Hypnosis is not sleep, but a natural, normal, relaxed and focused state of attention or "trance state" that is characterised by:

• Feelings of well-being
• Increased muscle relaxation
• Predominating Alpha Brain Waves
• An enhanced ability to access memories
• An enhanced ability to accept new ideas about yourself if they are not in conflict with your values

It is important to remember that hypnosis per se is not "therapy";  the skilled practice of clinical hypnotherapy resides in the way in which hypnosis is used to optimise a broad range of psychotherapy and counselling techniques to facilitate whatever healing and change is appropriate for you in your particular situation.
